So you feel that anyone who puts the ball on the floor and begins counting, just as described in the rule and case book, is incapable of effectively managing the game? It's disappointing that you would assume that.

But I've got news for you. Placing the ball on the floor can also be a very effective game management practice. In fact, it's advocated by my state association, which has established a specific procedure for doing so.
